The Mothership of All Storms

with Sean Heavey

In this interview, I chat with Sean Heavey, a Montana, U.S.A. based photographer. Sean has become well-known for his amazing storm photos… and now he’s gaining notoriety for his legal and copyright tangles with the 300-pound gorilla, Netflix. Sean is suing Netflix for unspecified damages and infringement incurred as a result of unauthorized of a Sean Heavey image. The case is unsettled, to date. However, the particulars of how it all went down are fascinating! And they involve some of your favorite shows on Netflix!

You be the judge!
